Black-burnished ware model

3D Model

This model was made by artist Simon Lee Dicker. There are many examples of black-burnished ware in the collections at RAMM - Simon was particularly influenced by these two examples:

1. South-East Dorset black-burnished ware bowl 848/1989/1/1 This bowl was excavated from a Roman cremation burial on a road leading from the fortress at Exeter. The shape is called a ‘pedestalled’ bowl and the simple decoration around the rim is similar to Iron Age pottery found in Devon.

2. Black-burnished ware bowl Black-burnished ware is the most common type of Roman pottery found in Exeter, although most finds are of small fragments of pottery. This bowl is one of the most complete found from the city.
